Product catalog summary
Application Overview: Tuning fork liquid level switches are essential for controlling the start-stop function of pumps by detecting slurry levels in desulfurization absorption towers and reporting alarm signals.
Product Features:
  • Compact Design: The Ring-11 switch has a 40mm fork length, suitable for pipelines and confined spaces.
  • High Sensitivity: Pre-adjusted harmonic resonant frequency allows detection of medium densities as low as 0.5g/cm³.
  • Disturbance Resistance: Unaffected by foam, bubbles, viscosity, vibration, and other liquid characteristics.
  • Output Options: Offers relay, two-wire system, NAMUR, and transistor outputs.
  • Safety Certifications: Passed SIL2/SIL3 Functional Safety Assessment and certified for Intrinsic Safety and Flameproof Enclosure explosion protection.
Installation Guidelines:
  • Can be installed horizontally, vertically, or obliquely depending on operational conditions.
  • Avoid installation near inlets and outlets to prevent impact damage or false signals.
  • Ensure fork bodies are aligned with the medium flow direction to prevent measurement errors.
  • For viscous mediums, vertical installation is recommended to prevent build-up.
  • Regular cleaning of the fork tines is advised, especially for viscous slurries.
  • Avoid using contact liquid level switches at low levels for slurries with high impurity content.
Operational Environment: The desulfurization process typically involves a limestone method with a pH value of 5-6 at the bottom slurry, increasing to 6-8.5 after mixing. Instruments must withstand low pH and high temperatures up to 250°C in corrosive and harsh conditions.

Application of Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switches in Slurry Measurement of Desulfurization Tower-1

Application of Tuning Fork Liquid Level Switches in Slurry Measurement of Desulfurization Tower To control start-stop of the pump, tuning fork liquid level switches are crucial to detect the fluctuating slurry level in desulfurization absorption tower, and to report the alarm signals. Compared with peers, Ring-11 (Tuning Fork) Liquid Level Switches has the following characteristics and advantages: ● With only 40mm fork length, specially designed for pipelines and other applications with constricted space. ● High sensitivity due to the precisely pre-adjusted harmonic resonant frequency of fork, the lowest measurable medium density can be as low as 0.5g/cm³. ● With strong disturbance resistance ability, not influenced by foam, bubbles, viscosity, vibration and other liquid characteristics. ● Four optional outputs: relay, two-wire system, NAMUR and transistor. ● Passed SIL2 / SIL3 Functional Safety Assessment, as well as certified for both Intrinsic Safety and Flameproof Enclosure explosion protection. Depends on the operative condition, Ring-11 Liquid Level Switches can be installed either horizontally, vertically or obliquely. However, because the mainstream process of 深圳

desulfurization is based on limestone method, the mainstream tower type is spray scrubber, with 5 ~ 6 pH value at the bottom slurry, and reaches 6 ~ 8.5 after mixing desulfurizer. Under low pH value and high temperature (within 250 ℃), reliable instrument are putting forward in such strong corrosivity and harsh working conditions. Other than that, following tips need to be pay attention with: 1. To prevent the instrument from filling impact damage or generating false signals, avoid installing instrument near inlet and outlet. 2. Please make sure the gap between fork bodies has same direction...

3. For viscous medium, install the instrument vertically to avoid medium hanging or build-up. 4. In case hanging of viscous slurry, the tines (fork body) shall be cleaned regularly. It is recommended to install a cleaning device to automatically clean the tines. 5. To improve efficiency, when measuring the viscous slurry with large amount of impurities, it is not recommended to select contact liquid level switch in low liquid level.
